Junit does not support specifying execution order of tests until 4.11. The methods were simply invoked in the order returned by the reflection API. So, the tests are executed in a unspecified but deterministic order, i.e., you have no control over the order of execution, but if you repeat the tests, they are run in the same sequence each time. For version 4.11, you can specify the order with the FixMethodOrder annotation: import org.junit.runners.MethodSorters; imp... From the release notes : Test execution order By design, JUnit does not specify the execution order of test method invocations. Until now, the methods were simply invoked in the order returned by the reflection API. However, using the JVM order is unwise since the Java platform does not specify...

Link to official Java networking properties page: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/net/properties.html http.keepAlive (default: true) Indicates if keep alive (persistent) connections should be supported. Persistent connections improve performance by allowing the underlying socket connection be reused for multiple http requests. The default is true and thus persistent connections will be used with http 1.1 servers. Set to 'false' to disable the use of persistent connections. http.maxConnections (default: 5) If HTTP keep-alive is enabled, this value is the number of idle connections that will be simultaneously kept alive, per-destination.

By default, tomcat uses an enhanced java.util.logging implementation called JULI, which can be configured at two different levels: Globally, with the ${catalina.base}/conf/logging.properties file. Per web application, with WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties . The configuration file is a normal Java properties file: Logging handlers are specified with the handlers property. handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, ... The root logger can define its set of handlers using the .handlers property. .handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,... A prefix may be added to handler names. The prefix starts with a digit and ends with a dot ( . ), for example: # 1catalina. is a prefix 1catalina.org.apache.j... System property replacement is performed for property values which contain ${systemPropertyName} . Each handler can have its own specific properties: 3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE ... Loggers can define their own...

Maven repositories are a central part of the Maven build system. Maven resolves dependencies through repositories. There are two types of repositories: local and remote . The local repository stores local build artifacts (when you do mvn install ) and caches artifacts from remote repositories. It is usually located on the local file system at $USER_HOME/.m2/repository . Remote repositories are located on the network and accessed by URLs ( http:// or file:// etc). The central Maven repository is: repo1.maven.org . The Java EE repositories are located at: http://download.java.net/maven/2/ and http://download.java.net/maven/1/ . Remote repositories can also be set up on the company intranet within a company's firewall. The central repository is automatically configured after installation. You can add additional repositories in settings.xml , for example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <setting......

By Java documentation , java.endorsed.dirs is used to provide an Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism . Which means, a user can provide newer versions of certain packages than those provided by the JDK. If there are newer implementations of these packages in the directories specified by java.endorsed.dirs , those implementations will be loaded instead of the default ones that come with the JDK. The packages that can be overriden this way are grouped into Endorsed Standards APIs and Standalone Technologies , and are listed in the Java documentation . Roughly speaking the Endorsed Standards APIs include: javax.rmi.CORBA various org.omg.* packages org.w3c.dom various org.xml.sax.* packages Standalone Technologies include: Java API for XML Processing (JAXP), version 1.4 Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB), version 2.0 Java API for...

While doing some Java reflection code, I noticed the method Class.isSynthetic() , which the JavaDoc says returns " true if and only if this class is a synthetic class as defined by the Java Language Specification". However, there's no definition of "synthetic class" in the JLS ! The only thing that I can find that remotely resembles a definition is in the JVM spec , where it defines the synthetic attribute : "The Synthetic attribute is a fixed-length attribute in the attributes table of ClassFile (§4.1), field_info (§4.5), and method_info (§4.6) structures. A class member that does not appear in the source code must be marked using a Synthetic attribute." By this definition, a default constructor, which does not appear in the source code, should...
